Pisa and Florence from the Livorno Cruise Port

My husband and I did this Florence/Pisa tour from the Livorno cruise port, plus a visit to a Tuscan winery the first week of May 2022. We had a BLAST. Simone was our guide, we couldn't have asked for a better guide or a better experience. He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, we had such a great experience! If you are considering booking this tour, just go ahead and do it, you won't regret it!

Could not have asked for a better tour. Simone picked 3 of us up on time. He was where the other pivate tour operators were located and he had a sign with my name on it. Simone was a local from Pisa and he explained to us the history of Pisa. Unfortunately, it rained the day we went to Pisa, and Simone had umbrellas for each of us, even though we had rain jackets and rain pants to help us stay dry. He never left us wondering where he would be. He parked the Mercedes van in a location that was convenient and easy to find. Once we completed our visit to the Leaning Tower of Pisa (stayed as long as we wanted), we were off to the country side of Tuscany headed to Florence. We stopped at the Plaza that overlooked Florence for some unbelievable pictures and sites. Next we headed to the city of Florence. First stop was to see the Statue of David. Lucky for us there was free entrance to the Statue and once again, Simone made sure we knew how to get into the museum and then said, the car will be at this location when we were finished. Next stop was Florence. We had about 3 1/2 hours in the city. We were hungry by this point and Simone told us about a very nice restaurant in Florence which we walked to. It was fabulous and the 3 of us had a wonderful lunch with no complaints. Then we went on our own walking Florence, going into the various leather shops as well as the other shops that Florence had to offer. This is an absolutely beautiful city. We came back to the car about 3:45 PM for our journey back to the Livorno cruise port. Arriving at 5:00 PM. The tour lasted for 9 hours and as I said earlier, it could not have been better. I would highly recommend Special Tours NCC when you arrive to Tuscany. Very professional, timely, and knowledgeable. Thank you, Simone.

Our driver, Drago, was waiting to meet us as we exited the cruise ship. He drove us to Pisa and then Florence. Drago was knowledgeable, he had a happy demeanor, and he provided a memorable tour. The vehicle was clean and comfortable and could easily hold 7 passengers. This was a great tour experience and I would highly recommend it.

Our tour guide was from Pisa and was able to give us extra color and information on the city. The trip to Florence took about an hour and again our driver cam through with great food recommendations and took us to the outdoor leather market. Thank you for a great time!
